Christina Aguleira cancelled both her NZ concerts.
KEY POINTS:
Angry fans vowed never to listen to Christina Aguilera's music again after she cancelled her two New Zealand concerts.
At 4.30pm yesterday, hours before the first was supposed to start, Aguilera, thought to be four months pregnant, announced she was recovering from a virus and would not beperforming at Auckland's Vector Arena. Tonight's concert was cancelled soon after. She cancelled two Melbourne shows this week.
In apologising for the cancellations, Aguilera appeared to have forgotten that she came to Auckland - and visited Rangitoto College - in 2000 during a promotional tour.
"I would like to apologise once again to all of my fans here in New Zealand for having to cancel my last two shows of my tour. This is my first time in your beautiful country and I have really been looking forward to performing for you all.
"Unfortunately, I caught a bad flu virus and I have not been able to recover in time. Thank you all for your continued love and support and I can't wait for the next time. With love, Christina."
Katelyn Pattullo, 13, and her mother Linda flew to Auckland from Christchurch especially for last night's concert.
"We think that it's awful. She could have told us 48 hours before. We spent loads of money to get here," Katelyn said.
"I'm just going to ignore her or turn her off when she comes on the television. I'm so annoyed."
Ticketmaster said it would refund tickets from 9am today.
